Venice Under Water

Posted: December 1st, 2008, 2:56pm CET by Keir Clarke

Due to strong winds today Venice has been hit by a rise in sea level of 1.56m above normal. The result is that nearly all of the city, including St Mark's Square, has been submerged.

There are a few Google Maps mashups that show the possible effects of sea level rises on the Earth. The effect of a one and a half metre rise in Venice suggests that many of these mashups may be over optimistic in their predictions.

A two metre rise in Flood Maps produces the result in the screenshot below, which seems a little less severe than the actual effect of the 1.56m rise.

The Sea Level Explorer rightly predicts that Venice is in serious danger from even a small rise in sea levels. The screenshot below shows that a low level rise could cause serious problems in Venice.

This Sea Level Visualisation Mapplet suggests a 1.5m rise would not have the effect that today's 1.56m rise has actually had.

You can of course use any of these three excellent Google Maps mashups to visualise the effect of sea rise on your own home.

When the user searches the map an information window opens over the location with links to census and demographic information for the area. It is alos possible to show the postcode and suburb boundaries on the map. It is even possible to get the url address for the current view.

The Australia Postcode Finder is the latest map from aus-emaps.com, which has itself just undergone a major redesign. The site aims to provide the most comprehensive point of reference and collection of online maps of Australia as well as location specific information.

It is possible to get a ten day forecast on Woozer for any country in the world but in the seven countries with detailed information you can drill down to individual cities.

It is possible to view the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit on the map or to view the wind direction and strength. It is also possible to animate the weather through the forecasts for the next ten days. Woozer can also give you a url address for any map view so it is possible to link to any of the ten day forecasts anywhere in the world.

I've just added the 100th building (Buckingham Palace) to this Google Earth Browser collection of the best 3D models in Google Earth. You can now take a tour of eight cities Paris, Rome, Tokyo, London, Washington, Berlin, Beijing and Chicago.

London is the latest city to have been added and this new collection includes, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and a number of other iconic buildings in the English capital.

EarthSwoop Man Made Travel Wonders

If you want to make your own collection of 3D buildings or natural wonders in the Google Earth Browser then go to EarthSwoop. EarthSwoop has a number of collections put together by its users, including this one of Man Made Travel Wonders.

This collection of travel writer Howard Hillman's list of the world's greatest man made wonders includes the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal and many more.

Both of the collections above require the Google Earth Browser plug-in and are Windows only.
